Yup, LeBron's supporting cast left more than a little bit to be desired last night. He goes 36-8 on 70% shooting and the next high scorer was Bosh with 17. That's not gonna get it done most nights. I think LeBron needs to take more than 20 shots.

You are right, he can't do it alone. Wade is no where the player he once was. And Bosh really isn't a max contract guy. The Heat really have no answer for a big team. This series is going to be tough. Pacers deserve a ton of credit.

Interesting article in today's Post about LeBron. I tend to agree with Benjamin Hochman's assessment.

Chris Anderson has been huge for the Heat since they picked him up. I don't know if things were just stale for him here, or what, but he wasn't playing with the intensity he's playing with for with Miami his last several seasons here. I really thought he didn't have anything left.

That article is horse $hit. It pretends the Heat are just going to roll over and die with age, and Lebron will leave. Pat Riley doesn't just sit on his ass and hope everything works out. He is as aggressive as they come since he's been here. This goes back to getting Alonzo Morning in his prime for chump change.

I wouldn't be surprised if the Big Three take pay cuts to get more free agents. That's the beauty when you want to live in a place like Miami.

^ I don't know, how cool would it be if LeBron went back to Cleveland? I know, probably never happen. But they have an interesting future with Kyrie Irving and now the first pick in the upcoming draft. That would be two nice players for LeBron to win with and he'd redeem himself among many of the haters by going back there.

I think Bron going back to Cleveland would be a great story, and if they have pieces set up, I assume he considers it. Wade is getting older and there's little else on the roster outside of bosh. I believe Cleveland would have cap room for two stars in 2014 (I may be wrong about that) plus Irving, their number one pick, varejao, Thompson, so forth.

Oh I don't know about all that. The new luxury tax is brutal. I'm not saying LeBron is leaving, but what I am saying is that big three may be broken up, via Wade or Bosh being let go. At the very least, it's going to be an issue that isn't solved as easily as you're saying.

I get they all want to be there, I get that they're going to win the title this year and be favorites next year, but at some point that luxury tax will come into play. They jacked it up so much that even the big market teams will need to think about it.

James will never play for Dan Gilbert. That team can't get any quality free agents to save its life. Can they build through the draft? Maybe, but just in time for them to be good, their players will start testing the free agent market.

On the other hand, Miami has been good with James carrying the entire load. Wade must have made a big difference in only 9-10 games this year. Having Wade replaced (retire or injury) with another good player will be ok for James.

My point is, Riley will not just let this team get old, and watch James find a new team. IMO James will not even test the market this time.

Yes, you are right. It's going to be a challenge to keep all three. People will have to take major pay cuts for it to work out. Not sure how they will attempt to solve that problem. Maybe Wade retires??

Over time I've learned to never say never. Personally, I don't see it happening and it angers me to see Cavaliers fans getting excited about a possible LBJ return. They are just setting themselves up for disappointment if he doesn't. All I can tell you is don't think that James will never leave, he left his hometown where he was a god to go play in Miami where the fans aren't nearly as loyal.

I don't think James will ....NEVER leave. I just don't think it's probable. One thing he doesn't want is a media circus. He wants nothing to be like last time. So what's the best way? Just don't become a free agent. That paired with he's happy in Miami, his family is setteled down here, Miami gave him his first ring, Front office in Miami will always keep the team competitive, his close friends play for the Heat, Clevland is still owned by Dan Gilbert, the added pressure of winning with a new team...is what I believe will make his DECISION easier to stay with the Heat.
